# Pay an invoice

Pay what your postpaid account owes, and see the invoices marked **Paid** on your account statement.
On a postpaid account, E2E invoices you at the end of each billing cycle; pay from **Pay Now**, or
[by bank transfer](/myaccount/billing/how-to/pay-by-bank-transfer/).

## Before you begin

**Billing > Pay Now** shows **Latest Bill Amount**, any **Advance Amount** already on the
account, and **Current Outstanding**. If TDS is enabled, **Suggested TDS Deduction** shows the
amount to deduct; click it for the breakup by invoice.

## Pay the outstanding amount

1. Open **Billing > Pay Now**.
2. **Payment Amount** starts at the current outstanding amount. Change it if you want to pay
   a different amount.
3. Click **Proceed to pay**, and complete the payment in the gateway: Razorpay on an INR
   account, with cards, net banking, UPI, and wallets; Stripe on a USD account, with a card.

The payment settles your unpaid invoices first. Anything left over stays on the account as an
advance, and the next invoice is set against it.

## After the payment

The payment is the first row under **Last 5 Transactions**. Under
**Billing > Account Statement > Invoices**, the invoices it covered move to **Paid**, or
**Partially Paid** when the payment covered part of one. An invoice's status can take up to
three hours to change after an online payment, and the outstanding amount on Pay Now can take
up to three days to settle.

For what each invoice status means, credit notes, and usage exports, see
[Read your account statement](/myaccount/billing/how-to/read-your-account-statement/). To have each
invoice settled automatically soon after it is issued, see
[Set up AutoPay](/myaccount/billing/how-to/set-up-autopay/). If the account has been suspended
for an unpaid invoice, see
[Restore a suspended account](/myaccount/billing/how-to/restore-a-suspended-account/).
